Testmyoffers

Testmyoffers is a special tool aimed at test tracking links of CPI offers for all main types of mobile devices.

Auto tests allow you to control your campaigns and its redirects without spending much time for manual checking. Testmyoffers plugin will check selected offers for a specified period of time. Once an offer is checked, you'll be provided with the test results in a separate report. Once an offer is inactive, you'll be notified additionally.

As a result, you will have an opportunity to avoid sending traffic on broken links and save your time for checking such offers.

How it works?

For a testing purpose CPI offers are taken by Testmyoffers plugin.

Why CPI offers are taken for checking?As a rule, CPI offers redirection flow leads a user either to Android Playmarket or to AppleStore to the application itself.That’s why Testmyoffers special tool can easily check a chain of redirects for such a type of offers and find out which one is 'broken'.

As for CPI offers, this type of offers are identified based on the offer’s settings on Affise side:

CPI button (Offer’s Settings - > General - > CPI) should be checked if you’d like to test the offer with the help of Testmyoffers plugin.

How to start testing CPI offers?

1. First of all, you should contact Testmyoffersdirectly to get registered on the plugin's side and get an access to your own account.

2. To launch a testing process, you’ll need to go to General tab -> find your own Testmyoffers API key which you will later use on Affise side and set IP range: IP Range should be set as follows for all Affise clients:

c) Partners for track url testing: Choose the needed partner. The partner chosen will be used for a real test of offer’s redirection flow. As a rule, you can choose a partner that you use for testing purposes. Notice: The partner should be enabled to all the offers that Testmyoffers plugin need to check. Otherwise, only public offers will be checked by the plugin.

d) Check all offers: once a button is ‘ON’, all the CPI offers will be checked.

e) Checking period (Hour): you can set a desired period for checking out of a drow-down menu.

The period you choose as a rule depends on the number of offers that need to be checked. Notice:testing process of one offer takes some time. That’s why to avoid situations when one testing process is not yet finished and the other one is already started, set ‘checking period’ as ‘24H’.

Where can I check the results of offers’ checking?

When a testing process is finished, you can check the results in your Statistics - > Testmyoffers:

Where:

Created at: when the testing process has been started.

Finished at: when the testing process has been finished.

Tested: how many offers have been checked and tested.

Broken links| Report: a number of offers with broken links and a related report when you can check on the reason of failed checking and other additional details.

Once opening a report for broken links, you will see the following information:

Where:

Date: date and time of report creation.

Offer: Offer ID that has been checked and tested.

Country: Country that has been used for testing purposes. Notice: Country is taken from the offer’s payouts settings to make sure that a testing click matches all the offer’s targeting restrictions.

Preview URL: Preview tracking link.

Track: Tracking URL that has been used for a test.

Store: a store that a tracking URL leads to: ex. Apple Store

App ID: Application ID

Reason: a reason why an offer has failed the test: ex. App ID mismatch. It means that Application ID that a tracking URL leads to and Application ID a tracking URL should lead to are different. Which is for sure not desirable and redirection flow is broken.
